There is nothing on the front or back of this real photographic postcard to tell us who the pictured family are, or the name and location of the studio in which they were photographed. A small girl is perched on a table between her parents. There are no distinguishing badges on her soldier–father’s uniform. His face is in shadow, and it appears as though his eyes are half-closed. || A real photographic postcard || || Home Front || Front || A photograph of a British soldier and his family || Photograph
